Burden of respiratory syncytial virus disease in infants and the potential value of maternal immunization in Greece
Objective: The objective was to assess the burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of maternal vaccination using the bivalent RSV prefusion F-protein (RSVpreF) vaccine to prevent RSV infections among Greek infants. Methods: A Markov model was adapted from the perspective of a public payer to simulate the health and economic outcomes of RSV from birth to 1 year of age. Key inputs for the model, including vac…
MicroRNA Profiling as a Novel Tool in the Diagnostics of Late-Onset Neonatal Sepsis
Background/Objectives: The incidence of late-onset sepsis (LOS) has increased with improved survival rates in premature infants. Blood culture, the diagnostic "gold standard", requires at least 36-72 h for results, leading to empiric antibiotic use and potential resistance. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers for sepsis in adults, but their role in neonatal LOS remains unclear. The aim of this scoping review is to identify the…
Sex Differences in Wheezing During the First Three Years of Life After Delivery via Caesarean Section
Girls born by caesarean section developed wheezing more frequently than their vaginally born counterparts during the first three years of life. Although male sex proved an overall predisposing factor to preschool wheezing, boys born by caesarean section were not diagnosed with wheezing more frequently than those delivered vaginally
A Survey on the Organization and Operation of Level II/III Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Greece
This survey highlights significant advancements in Level II/III NICU infrastructure and care capabilities, while emphasizing demographic changes and a critical shortage of neonatal nursing staff. These factors should be carefully considered by health authorities in the development of future neonatal care strategic planning in the country
Quality of Life of Adolescents and Young Adults After Testicular Prosthesis Surgery During Childhood
Testicular prosthesis surgery performed from childhood to adulthood may create profound and variable concerns, which may affect the recipients and their companions in the long term. Therefore, it should not be considered in a simplistic manner as a routine procedure and should be preceded by thorough conversation with experts
Knowledge, Perceptions and Intention of Acceptance of RSV Vaccine Amongst Women in Western Greece – A Cross-Sectional Study
Immunization of pregnant women against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been recently licensed for use worldwide. In this study, we aimed to assess knowledge, perceptions and potential RSV vaccine acceptance in future pregnancy in mothers of children under 2 years old attending a Tertiary hospital. Α questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2024 (including period of RSV peak circulation in Greek climate…
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Performance of Children Born Non-Extremely Preterm
Data on exercise tolerance of children born non-extremely preterm are sparse. We aimed to explore the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) characteristics in this population. We studied 63 children (age 7-12 years) born at 29 0/7 -36 6/7 weeks of gestation (34 were late preterm, 29 were preterm) and 63 age-matched, term-born controls. All performed spirometry and CPET (cycle ergometry). There were no differences in activity levels and spiromet…
Parental and Pediatricians’ Attitudes towards Covid-19 Vaccination for Children
Although many studies have examined factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination and healthcare professionals' attitudes towards vaccines, less is known about parents' and pediatricians' attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination for children. Using two cross-sectional surveys from November to December 2021 in Greece, we aimed to assess parental intention to vaccinate their 5 to 17 years old children against COVID-19 and to evaluate pediatricians' at…
Knowledge and Attitudes of Medical and Nursing Students in Greece Regarding Child Abuse and Neglect
Data on the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare practitioners in training regarding child abuse and neglect (CAN) are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and attitudes regarding CAN of medical and nursing students in Greek universities. We performed a questionnaire-based e-survey on a convenience sample of students and recruited 609 students (366 medical and 243 nursing). An unsatisfactory level of knowledge in the fi…
The Psychological Impact of Covid-19 Admission on Families
The aim of the present study was to assess the psychological impact of hospitalization during the COVID-19 pandemic on parents and their offspring. We performed a nationwide cross-sectional study in Greece based on an Internet questionnaire survey. A convenience sample of parents whose offspring had been hospitalized due to COVID-19 (including multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, MIS-C), diagnosed with COVID-19 but not hospitalized, and…
